The Energy Tr
easure Hunt is a dynamic\, effective process for identifying savings oppor
tunities\, and is a best practice adopted by many ENERGY STAR partners to
identify no- and low-cost savings opportunities\, and build stronger energ
y teams. By focusing on energy savings\, Energy Treasure Hunts support imp
lementation of an energy management program and key components of EPA’s EN
ERGY STAR Guidelines for Energy Management. Learn how others have used thi
s tool to find savings\, and learn how to run your own treasure hunt.

DESCRIPTION:Do you want to know which companies are taking steps to reduce
their environmental footprint in the U.S.? Join this webinar to learn how
the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) Pollution Prevention (P2) Tool can help
you identify P2 successes and visually compare environmental performance
at both the facility and corporate level.\nFor the past two years\, TRI’s
Pollution Prevention (P2) Tool has been the go-to resource for learning wh
at facilities are doing to reduce toxic chemical pollution. And now\, all
the facility-level P2 and waste management data reported to EPA’s TRI Prog
ram is available at the parent company-level as well. This means you can n
ow compare toxic chemical management and greenhouse gas emissions data at
the corporate level and see what each company is doing to prevent the rele
ase of pollutants to the environment.\nThis webinar will provide a live de
monstration of the newly-expanded TRI P2 Tool and highlight the latest ind
ustry- and chemical-level P2 trends featured in the 2013 TRI National Anal
ysis.\nSpace is limited. Reserve your Webinar seat now at: https://www1.go

SUMMARY:Corporate Sustainability and TRI: Exploring Pollution Prevention (P
2) Information
URL:http://kppc.org/event/corporate-sustainability-and-tri-exploring-pollut
ion-prevention-p2-information/
X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\n

Do you want t
o know which companies are taking steps to reduce their environmental foot
print in the U.S.? Join this webinar to learn how the Toxics Relea
se Inventory (TRI) Pollution Prevention (P2) Tool can help you id
entify P2 successes and visually compare environmental performance at both
the facility and corporate level.

\n

For the past two years\, TRI’s
Pollution Prevention (P2) Tool has been the go-to resource for learning wh
at facilities are doing to reduce toxic chemical pollution. And now\, all
the facility-level P2 and waste management data reported to EPA’s TRI Prog
ram is available at the parent company-level as well. This means you can n
ow compare toxic chemical management and greenhouse gas emissions data at
the corporate level and see what each company is doing to prevent the rele
ase of pollutants to the environment.

\n

This webinar will provide a
live demonstration of the newly-expanded TRI P2 Tool and highlight the lat
est industry- and chemical-level P2 trends featured in the 2013 TRI Nation
al Analysis.

This presentation describes an ENERGY STAR offering that is helping orga
nizations realize substantial energy and financial savings available from
computer and monitor power management. This training introduces an innovat
ive software tool that enables monitor power management from a central loc
ation\, as well as educational outreach material. Organizations utilizing
this free software (which may be downloaded from the Web) can save $10 to
$50 per computer.

DESCRIPTION:This fall we will be introduced to the completely renovated ISO
14001:2015 environmental management system – the one with that “risk-base
d thinking.” The new approach to environmental management will facilitate
the move from compliance and process improvement to a new focus on meeting
organizational objectives over the long term (sounds a little like “susta
inability”). The international standard on risk management (ISO 31000) def
ines risk as the “effect of uncertainty on objectives.” In plain English t
his means that organizations should focus on meeting their objectives as i
t operates in an uncertain world. This “uncertainty” creates negative effe
cts (threats) and positive effects (opportunities). Those of us working in
P2 and energy conservation (P2E2) will continue to contribute to this ris
k-based thinking by developing the “opportunities” that can help offset th
e threats. This will help an organization meet its objectives. The focus i
s on meeting organizational objectives – not on conserving energy and redu
cing waste. Think more about how the organizations you deal with can use y
our services to help them meet the overarching objectives often stated in
the mission statement.\nPresenter: Robert B. Pojasek\, Ph.D.\nDr. Pojasek

An ENERGY STAR Energy Management Networking
Web Conference

\n

Energy programs\, and those who manage the
m\, are increasingly becoming involved in\, or responsible for\, water pro
jects and managing water use. In many parts of the country and world\, wat
er is also becoming increasingly scarce and expensive\, which brings new r
isks and management issues.

\n

This ENERGY STAR Partner web conferenc

This presentation will describe this annual data co
llection effort and highlight the key findings of this research to date. R
esults discussed will consider the social science knowledge most commonly
incorporated into the programs captured\, as well as methods used for prog
ram evaluation and overarching lessons learned from the program administra
tor community. This presentation aims to shed light on current program act
ivity\, offer initial observations on emerging trends in behavior-based pr
ograms\, and illustrate some promising approaches to achieving quantifiabl
e energy efficiency savings using social science insights.

With a good background on the basic functionality of EPA’s
ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager® tool\, learn about some advanced features
including: using spreadsheet upload templates to update property data\; s
etting goals and targets to plan energy improvements for properties\; crea
ting custom reports\; and using the Sustainable Buildings Checklist.

Continue to learn about EPA’s new ENERGY STAR Portfolio M

common consumer technologies during this time frame including TVs\, phone

consumed\, those held in stock and those that are entering the waste strea
m and available for recycling\, were quantified using a material flows ana
lysis approach. The analysis looked at products\, weights and key material

sold have increased\, the net material consumption has declined to levels
not seen since the early 1990s. These finding are significant from a Sust

was that each community had some sort of public action to support recycli

ol that a local government implements to influence curbside recycling coll
